Did anyone notice the TSN headline after Kessel got rocked and left the game momentarily?

I'm still in disbelief that it was the top story on the site.

Kessel looked terrific. He was all over the ice. I was pretty shocked he didn't look more rusty. The guy unfortunitely didn't get a goal, but they come come if he keeps playing like that.

And he played over 7 minutes more than his avg. in Boston. I said all along his ice time, not Marc Savard was the key for him getting even better stats in Toronto.

So he would not benefit from playing with a "play-making" center????

Perhaps you know more about the NHL and the players than Pierre McGuire, who has said consistently that a large part of Kessel's success, was due to playing with a play-making center (Savard) and that the leafs will need to upgrade in that area in order to fully utilize Kessel's talents.

I'll bet you dollars to doughnuts that the next quest for BB is to find such a center to play with the Messiah...............just like the leafs were always looking for someone to play with Sundin.

no doubt that adding a playmaking center will help... but Kessel will be fine without Savard, with all the extra time he'll be getting, and the passes from Kaberle.

Gomez's cup ring has nothing to do with the fact that Brodeur just so happened to be on the team, eh?


edit: isn't it kinda sad that had you guys kept grabo, you wouldn't have had to trade away your future selke and norris winners for a 2nd line center?

that could be a bad move. Luckily neither will be available when the Bruins go up with the Leafs pick...


unless they drop like Esposito

It was very silly. They actually had it up like they thought Kessel was hurt and it would end up being a bigger story than it was.

Kessel was back in what, 3 minutes?

Keep trying with the trolling. Kessel will get 36 this season again if he keeps it up.

So you guys quote Pierre when he says Kessel needs Savard, but laugh at him when he predicts the Leafs will make the playoffs and their defense will be fantastic?

Why would he still only get 36 if he is getting more ice time, more PP time and the quality of his team mates doesn't matter?
